  /  autty

Vinicius Jr's future at Real Madrid has been cast into further doubt as talks over a new contract appear to have hit a standstill.

AS report that all negotiations were put on hold after the initial approach which was made back in February.

The figure required was transmitted by his agent Frederico Pena and since then it is understood that there has been no further contact.

The Brazilian's current contract, which sees him earn somewhere in the region £330,187-a-week.

After a stellar 2023-24 campaign that saw him finish second in the Ballon d'Or standings, the Brazilian was forced to adapt last year as Real welcomed the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.

Vinicius ultimately ended the season with 11 league goals from 24 starts as Carlo Ancelotti was unable to leverage his latest blockbuster arrival into yet more domestic glory.

Back in February, Vini made a statement that highlighted the situation: 'I hope the talks will be resolved in the coming days. It's very exciting to be able to open talks with Real Madrid about my renewal.

'I have a contract until I'm 27, but I've always said I want to play here for a long time, to make history, and to receive the affection of the fans alongside the president and the coaching staff.

'God willing, the negotiations will be resolved in the coming days, and I'll be able to stay here for much longer.'
